I have encountered an unusual situation which I believe may be related to collector item #505 (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/505 - ZCTextUndex should not hold a reference to a lexicon).
Prior to performing a ZCatalog update I cleared the catalog (using the clear catalog option under the Advanced tab of the ZMI); then, to clear out the Lexicon, I deleted the Lexicon and created a new Lexicon (id of both was 'Lexicon').
I then added about 805,000 records to the ZCatalog (which went smoothly) and tested catalog searches - all went well, including globbing searches, 'and', 'and not' searches.
The previous Lexicon had 764,410 word entries. The current Lexicon has 0 word entries.
The ZCatalog and ZCTextIndex appear to be working ok, so I am guessing that somehow the ZCTextIndex is using a 'hidden/old' version of the Lexicon (not the newly created version) - which is very strange, as the .fs file was packed prior to the update (so any old versions should have been deleted).
This activity was all performed on a linux server running zope 2.6.1
Finally, the questions:
1) Can ZCTextIndex really be using the some other version of the Lexicon (which I can not access via the ZMI)?
Yes, it can. The ZCTextIndex holds an attribute, 'index', which is an instance of either OkapiIndex or CosineIndex. That subobject also holds a reference to the lexicon, which is the reason for the collector follow-up: = Comment - Entry #2 by Caseman on Aug 14, 2002 5:45 pm Partial fix in place. I still need to resolve the deeper reference held in the actual index object that ZCTextIndex delegates to (more fun and games)
2) Was Collector Item #505 ever fixed (I can not find a reference to issue #505 in any of the zope change logs)?
No, it has not been fixed. The workaround in your case is to delete the entire ZCTextIndex, re-add it, and re-index your content. You might be able to revivify the current lexicon by opening the database yourself, but the risk / reward ratio is pretty steep, compared to just recreating the index.
